Carbon Fiber intake and kooks headers hidden in there. I wouldn't go ape with painting, covers, etc. Makes it look tacky to me. A lot of guys take off the cover, powdercoat the lid, and swap for some billet intercooler inlets. Looks sharp.

Definitely not going with Chrome, like what you've done. I dont like plastic covers. Black anodized alternator looks good.
Maybe some black steel braided lines...
Need more ideas. Thx
Heres a pic of my previous engine...
